BruceS Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Just before my fencing lesson yesterday afternoon I told my coach I was spending the long week end at the HiFi show. To which he replied, "What's HiFi"? What's HiF?!!!!!!!!!!! Arrrr! Makes me wonder if our hobby is less widely know that we think!! Bruce 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest yamaha_man Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Well if he teaches fencing let alone partakes in it I guess that answers your question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crisis Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 I know it ultimately is but I don't really consider it a "hobby". I don't collect it or desire "classic" or "vintage" equipment. On the contrary actually. My involvement in the realm was initiated by my desire to hear music reproduced as well as it can be. The obsession with equipment however renders it a hobby.

BruceS Posted October 12, 2018 Author Share Posted October 12, 2018 Could not agree more! It is about the music. I guess the HiFi 'gear' helps us to enjoy the music more. Someone in one of the rooms yesterday remarked that they had never heard some particular thing before as the music was played on some pretty good equipment. One of the motivators for an upgrade is to hear those 'extras' - the other is probably the desire to hear what we already hear more 'clearly' ie more distinctly, more accurately, less distortion, etc. Great 'hobby' though!
